|| 2 || PAUREE: The slanderers are destroyed in an instant; they are not spared for even a moment. God will not endure the sufferings of His slaves, but catching the slanderers, He binds them to the cycle of reincarnation. Grabbing them by the hair on their heads, the Lord throws them down, and leaves them on the path of Death. They cry out in pain, in the darkest of hells. But hugging His slaves close to His Heart, O Nanak, the True Lord saves them. || 20 || SHALOK, FIFTH MEHL: Meditate on the Lord, O fortunate ones; He is pervading the waters and the earth. O Nanak, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and no misfortune shall strike you. || 1 || FIFTH MEHL: Millions of misfortunes block the way of one who forgets the Name of the Lord. O Nanak, like a crow in a deserted house, he cries out, night and day.

|| 2 || PAUREE: Meditating, meditating in remembrance of the Great Giver, one’s heart’s desires are fulfilled. The hopes and desires of the mind are realized, and sorrows are forgotten. The treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained; I have searched for it for so long. My light is merged into the Light, and my labors are over. I abide in that house of peace, poise and bliss. My comings and goings have ended – there is no birth or death there. The Master and the servant have become one, with no sense of separation. By Guru’s Grace, Nanak is absorbed in the True Lord.

|| 21 || 1 || 2 || SUDH || RAAG GUJRI, THE WORDS OF THE DEVOTEES: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: CHAU-PADAS OF KABEER JEE, SECOND HOUSE: With four feet, two horns and a mute mouth, how could you sing the Praises of the Lord? Standing up and sitting down, the stick shall still fall on you, so where will you hide your head? || 1 || Without the Lord, you are like a stray ox; with your nose torn, and your shoulders injured, you shall have only the straw of coarse grain to eat. || 1 || Pause || All day long, you shall wander in the forest, and even then, your belly will not be full. You did not follow the advice of the humble devotees, and so you shall obtain the fruits of your actions.

|| 2 || Enduring pleasure and pain, drowned in the great ocean of doubt, you shall wander in numerous reincarnations. You have lost the jewel of human birth by forgetting God; when will you have such an opportunity again? || 3 || You turn on the wheel of reincarnation, like an ox at the oilpress; the night of your life passes away without salvation. Says Kabeer, without the Name of the Lord, you shall pound your head, and regret and repent. || 4 || 1 || GUJRI, THIRD HOUSE: Kabeer’s mother sobs, cries and bewails – O Lord, how will my grandchildren live? || 1 || Kabeer has given up all his spinning and weaving, and written the Name of the Lord on his body.

|| 1 || Pause || As long as I pass the thread through the bobbin, I forget the Lord, my Beloved. || 2 || My intellect is lowly – I am a weaver by birth, but I have earned the profit of the Name of the Lord. || 3 || Says Kabeer, listen, O my mother – the Lord alone is the Provider, for me and my children. || 4 || 2 || GUJRI, PADAS OF NAAM DAYV JEE, FIRST HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: If You gave me an empire, then what glory would be in it for me? If You made me beg for charity, what would it take away from me? || 1 || Meditate and vibrate upon the Lord, O my mind, and you shall obtain the state of Nirvaanaa. You shall not have to come and go in reincarnation any longer.

|| 1 || Pause || You created all, and You lead them astray in doubt. They alone understand, unto whom You give understanding. || 2 || Meeting the True Guru, doubt is dispelled. Who else should I worship? I can see no other. || 3 || One stone is lovingly decorated, while another stone is walked upon. If one is a god, then the other must also be a god. Says Naam Dayv, I serve the Lord. || 4 || 1 || GUJRI, FIRST HOUSE: He does not have even a trace of impurity – He is beyond impurity. He is fragrantly scented – He has come to take His Seat in my mind. No one saw Him come – who can know Him, O Siblings of Destiny? || 1 || Who can describe Him? Who can understand Him? The allpervading Lord has no ancestors, O Siblings of Destiny.

|| 1 || Pause || As the path of a bird’s flight across the sky cannot be seen, and the path of a fish through the water cannot be seen; || 2 || As the mirage leads one to mistake the sky for a pitcher filled with water – so is God, the Lord and Master of Naam Dayv, who fits these three comparisons. || 3 || 2 || GUJRI, PADAS OF RAVI DAAS JEE, THIRD HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: The calf has contaminated the milk in the breasts. The bumble bee has contaminated the flower, and the fish the water. || 1 || O mother, where shall I find any offering for the Lord’s worship? I cannot find any other flowers worthy of the incomparable Lord.

|| 1 || Pause || The snakes encircle the sandalwood trees. Poison and nectar dwell there together. || 2 || Even with incense, lamps, offerings of food and fragrant flowers, how are Your slaves to worship You? || 3 || I dedicate and offer my body and mind to You. By Guru’s Grace, I attain the immaculate Lord. || 4 || I cannot worship You, nor offer You flowers. Says Ravi Daas, what shall my condition be hereafter? || 5 || 1 || GUJRI, PADAS OF TRILOCHAN JEE, FIRST HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: You have not cleansed the filth from within yourself, although outwardly, you wear the dress of a renunciate. In the heartlotus of your self, you have not recognized God – why have you become a Sannyaasee?

|| 1 || Deluded by doubt, O Jai Chand, you have not realized the Lord, the embodiment of supreme bliss. || 1 || Pause || You eat in each and every house, fattening your body; you wear the patched coat and the ear-rings of the beggar, for the sake of wealth. You apply the ashes of cremation to your body, but without a Guru, you have not found the essence of reality. || 2 || Why bother to chant your spells? Why bother to practice austerities? Why bother to churn water? Meditate on the Lord of Nirvaanaa, who has created the 8.4 million species of beings.

|| 3 || Why bother to carry the water-pot, O saffron-robed Yogi? Why bother to visit the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage? Says Trilochan, listen, mortal: you have no corn – what are you trying to thresh? || 4 || 1 || GUJRI: At the very last moment, one who thinks of wealth, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again, in the form of serpents. || 1 || O sister, do not forget the Name of the Lord of the Universe. || Pause || At the very last moment, he who thinks of women, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a prostitute.

|| 2 || At the very last moment, one who thinks of his children, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a pig. || 3 || At the very last moment, one who thinks of mansions, and dies in such thoughts, shall be reincarnated over and over again as a goblin. || 4 || At the very last moment, one who thinks of the Lord, and dies in such thoughts, says Trilochan, that man shall be liberated; the Lord shall abide in his heart.

|| 5 || 2 || GUJRI, PADAS OF JAI DAYV JEE, FOURTH HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: In the very beginning, was the Primal Lord, unrivalled, the Lover of Truth and other virtues. He is absolutely wonderful, transcending creation; remembering Him, all are emancipated. || 1 || Dwell only upon the beauteous Name of the Lord, the embodiment of ambrosial nectar and reality. Remembering Him in meditation, the fear of birth, old age and death will not trouble you. || 1 || Pause || If you desire to escape the fear of the Messenger of Death, then praise the Lord joyfully, and do good deeds. In the past, present and future, He is always the same; He is the embodiment of supreme bliss.

|| 2 || If you seek the path of good conduct, forsake greed, and do not look upon other men’s property and women. Renounce all evil actions and evil inclinations, and hurry to the Sanctuary of the Lord. || 3 || Worship the immaculate Lord, in thought, word and deed. What is the good of practicing Yoga, giving feasts and charity, and practicing penance? || 4 || Meditate on the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the Universe, O man; He is the source of all the spiritual powers of the Siddhas. Jai Dayv has openly come to Him; He is the salvation of all, in the past, present and future.

|| 5 || 1 || ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. TRUTH IS THE NAME. CREATIVE BEING PERSONIFIED. NO FEAR. NO HATRED. IMAGE OF THE UNDYING. BEYOND BIRTH. SELF-EXISTENT. BY GURU’S GRACE: RAAG DAYV-GANDHAAREE, FOURTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE: Those who become the humble servants of the Lord and Master, lovingly focus their minds on Him. Those who chant Your Praises, through the Guru’s Teachings, have great good fortune recorded upon their foreheads.

|| 1 || Pause || The bonds and shackles of Maya are shattered, by lovingly focusing their minds on the Name of the Lord. My mind is enticed by the Guru, the Enticer; beholding Him, I am wonder-struck. || 1 || I slept through the entire dark night of my life, but through the tiniest bit of the Guru’s Grace, I have been awakened. O Beautiful Lord God, Master of servant Nanak, there is none comparable to You. || 2 || 1 || DAYV-GANDHAAREE: Tell me – on what path will I find my Beauteous Lord? O Saints of the Lord, show me the Way, and I shall follow.

|| 1 || Pause || I cherish in my heart the Words of my Beloved; this is the best way. The bride may be hunch-backed and short, but if she is loved by her Lord Master, she becomes beautiful, and she melts in the Lord’s embrace. || 1 || There is only the One Beloved – we are all soul-brides of our Husband Lord. She who is pleasing to her Husband Lord is good. What can poor, helpless Nanak do? As it pleases the Lord, so does he walk. || 2 || 2 || DAYVGANDHAAREE: O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har. The Gurmukh is imbued with the deep red color of the poppy. His shawl is saturated with the Lord’s Love.

|| 1 || Pause || I wander around here and there, like a madman, bewildered, seeking out my Darling Lord. I shall be the slave of the slave of whoever unites me with my Darling Beloved. || 1 || So align yourself with the Almighty True Guru; drink in and savor the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. By Guru’s Grace, servant Nanak has obtained the wealth of the Lord within.
